I enjoy eating it warm, or cold. The addition of cooked brown rice to tuna salad helps to extend it to feed more people from a single can. It also has the additional benefit of decreasing the fishy taste that sometimes is associated with tuna salad. Some of my taste testers have been convinced that they were eating chicken salad.

Steps to make Brown rice and tuna salad:
  1. Wash and cook brown rice according to package instruction.
  2. Prepare your bell peppers, onion, and garlic: wash, slice, chop and place them all on a big bowl. [You also have to option to quick fry your onion and garlic if you like, before mixing them with other ingredients]
  3. On the same bowl, add in all the specified protein and spices [and the optional ingredients you fancy]. Set aside and cover while waiting for rice to cook.
  4. Wash your lettuce, then dry, and cut them into bite sizes by hands. Transfer 1 serving of lettuce on a serving bowl and set aside. Keep leftover lettuce on a ziplock bag and store in fridge. Note: Using a knife to cut lettuce makes lettuce taste bitter. Strange but true, based from experience.
  5. Soon as the brown rice is cooked. Take 1 cup rice. Add them to the bowl of quickly marinated veggies (w/o lettuce). Mix them well.
  6. For 1 serve, transfer 1/2 cup brown rice mixture on the serving bowl with lettuce and stir them a bit. Garnish with extra chopped walnuts or dried fruit if you want.
  7. Keep the brown rice mix leftovers on a container then store in fridge. And it would taste even better the next day! If the leftover mixture has cooled down, you can mix-in the lettuce before storing the meal in fridge. Or alternatively, just bring a ziplock of lettuce with your packed brown rice and mix them upon consumption. Enjoy!

This easy and delicious salad of white rice, light tuna, corn, and pickle relish is great for lunch or an afternoon snack. It makes also a great party dish. The only change I made was to use brown rice instead of white. Next time might follow other users' suggestions and try spinach feta and/or black olives and might add another carrot. Also I might store the leftover rice and salad separately to preserve it better.
